-930: Cannot connect to database server

[AttilaDan]

Running version 7.2 on a HPUX 11 machine.

When I try to start oninit, it fails and online.log has the message 'listener-thread: err = -930: Cannot connect to database server (l2000).'.

The sqlhosts file has:
onl_up01shm onipcshm l2000 localserver
onl_up01 onsoctcp l2000 sqlexec

My INFORMIXSERVER is set to 'onl_up01'. In the onconfig file, the DBSERVERNAME is set to 'onl_up01' and DBSERVERALIASES is 'onl_up01shm'.

There is a sqlexec entry in /etc/services. And the /etc/hosts file has an entry for 'l2000'.

What am I missing?

your dns is not resolving the l2000 entry. Try putting the actual ip address there instead.
